The Story
Moya’s Pinot Noir hails from a northern slope in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. The vineyard is cluttered with large pebbles in the topsoil with decomposed Granite in the subsoil.
A standout vintage displaying rich generosity with layers of elegant complexity. A silky tannin structure, with elevated length, compliments the charming and spicy primary fruit perfume.
This elegant wine shows beautiful structure and balance—a faithful depiction of the site’s lighter structured soils.
